With what? You couldn't even keep up with your own tires rolling down your driveway!

It has 33s. If Kevin can do it, so can I! Uh...maybe not. Can you imagine a full size long bed on WH1? 😯

Offline It goes on the inside of your tub and sandwiches the tub between the backing and crusher corners. Allows you to get a much tighter fit..

Rob I am in the process of installin these on my LJ and I hadn't heard of the backing plate. Is this ordered through Gen-right? Is it nessary?

Offline You don't need it, it just helps make a tighter fit to the tub and makes it stronger by distributing the load evenly on the backing plate if you take a hard hit to the crusher corner. John, Brad, and Lee don't run the plate on their corners.

Offline I got the 44 out from under the Jeep. If anyone talks to Lee, tell him I will be home all day Monday and Tuesday. I built an axle stand on wheels so I could move the 60 around under the Jeep to take measurements and fit it. I have all the measurements done and will be cutting it down this week and building all the brackets for the coil springs and control arms. I am dumping the radius arms and 3 linking the front.
So far I am on schedule to have the Jeep back up and running by the end of August...Only down for two months, I can deal with that. How long did it take Justin to get a rear 60 built for his Jeep "7 + months 😯 "
I got my Genright corners and fenders yesterday and those will be mounted this week and then I have some cutting to do on the wheel well to fit the high line fenders. Did not have to comp cut 
I will post photos this week.

Pics of the 3-link?

Offline I will post photos of the 3 link as soon as I get it fabed up. I will be removing the RE upper radius arms and run one solid upper arm on the driver side. I will weld a new CA bracket to the inside of the frame rail just infront of the RE skid plate. I will build a new arm with Johnny joints on both ends and attach it to a bridge over the pumpkin. 3 link allows for better and smoother flex and less bindind than radius arms.

🙄 It took 1 month to build, and 6 months to save the money to pay for it. Get your facts straight.

Just wondering if you were comparing it to stock radius arms or extended, duff/cage arms, BC's, etc that use heim joints, adjustable caster, bends for tire clearance.
Using those arms would be a time saver, but if you were going to spend that kind of coin you might as well just link it.

That sounds like it will be a trick set up. 8) No more track bar, right?
Are you still going to move the front axle forward?

My 60 has a flat mounting plate with 4 bolt holes. It would be an easy change for me to do. It sounds like your work is on the DS as well so I should be able to model something from your pics.

I will still run a pan hard bar. Would need to go to a triangulated 4 link to dump the track bar, and I would still run one of front if O was driving it on the street.
I have already moved the front axle 3 inches forward and plan on another 4 or 5 over the winter. My plab is to get it up and running next month to get a few runs in and use it for hunting season.
